What drove the change

  • In communication and energy, business services, line resale and the company's own fiber service kept growing
  • U-NEXT added more sports such as European football and golf, music live shows, and exclusive titles from Max; the content segment grew both sales and profit
  • Store and facility solutions was roughly flat on sales, and its operating income slipped

Things to watch

  • Competition for streaming content, including from well-funded overseas players, could cost U-NEXT subscribers
  • Restaurants and shops, its core business customers, may close under rising food, energy and labor costs or staff shortages
  • Higher power procurement costs could erode its price edge in electricity and lead to fewer sign-ups or more cancellations
